upgraded to a Virago 1100 and is now totally into riding as well, thanks to me!)...Since then I've had 3 Suzuki's (2 Intruder 800's and an Intruder 1400) and another Yamaha (Virago 1100) before I settled on my current cruiser - I won't say I'm through purchasing bikes, but man, I really love this '03 V-Star!

My riding bud thinks it's like driving a couch - I guess that's a good thing! I'm a member of ISRA, #18273. I'm also still serving in the Army, will probably look at retirement in the next 3-5 years, and hopefully I will be in an area that offers a great job and excellent riding opportunities (not necessarily in that order!)...
